Brecks to Broads

Watch the haunting heathlands of the Brecks, far-reaching farmlands, creeks and coastline unfold under your two wheels and one enormous Norfolk sky as they eventually deliver you to the county's vibrant and historic city of Norwich. Admire the boats on rivers, sea and the Broads along the way, but cruise by bike through charming hamlets, past red brick Jacobean mansions, silvery flint cottages, bright village greens or market squares lined with smart Georgian facades. The low-lying landscapes make for relaxed cycling on small roads and quiet country lanes, or the traffic-free paths of the Marriot's Way- one of the Mr Beeching's Norfolk legacies.

Accommodation

In Thetford, Swaffham, near the market town of Fakenham, Aylsham and in Norfolk's county town, Norwich.
